There is rapidly increasing demand
from farmers, dAirymen and stockmAn
for Q wind mill that viii not only pump
water, bat also furnish power for rum
ming machinery used about the barn and
dairy. These are . feed grinder, corn
shelter, wood saw, churn, gT1ndstone or
feed cutter, and even running threshing
nachines. All this has successfully been
done BY wind power. Millers, TOO, are
beginning to see the value OF wind as Q
cheap power, and are erecting large mills

If the law in Missouri, and Kansas
also, were 50 framed that all burglars,
train robbers and others of like stripe,
were placed in the same catalogue as
murderers, and the penalty made the
the same as the penalty for treason,
and enforced to the letter, it would
more nearly meet the views of the av-
erage citizen Of Kansas than lot of
fool laws that are so easily evaded and
that when enforced do not prescribe a
penalty adequate to the offense.

As predicted, the visit of Editor
O'Brien to Canada has resulted in
some broken heads. 1t seems from the
news received by telegraph that there
are Irishmen in the Dominion who
think that the British government is
good enough for them, and who believe
more in Queen Victoria than in Parnell
or Editor O'Brien. Probably the end
is not yet, as the Orange Irishmen have

1T appears that since General Black
took charge Of the pension Office, he has
improved the service so that the PEN
sions are being paid much more rapidly
than ever before, Notwithstanding a
decrease of 100 clerks. In the first
year of his incumbency he saved Is, 1854
days time by requiring a closer atten-
ton to Office hours and giving fewer
leaves of absence. The following table
shows the actual number Of pensions
issued by the bureau for a series of
years, and for ten months of the pres
ent year:
1888. 1884. 1856. 1881 10 mo.

The mail received by the pension of
flee now amounts to 10000 letters for
every week day, having nearly doubled
since 1884. General Black has cut off
entirely the detail of officials for ''po-
litical work" in campaigns and ruEs
his Office for S400, 900 less than the ap-
preparation. Formerly a case neglec-
ted for long time was marked "aban-
doned or rejected" General Black has
stopped this practice and requires ev-
cry claim to be adjudicated. The
great arrears when he came into Office
have been entirely cleared up. Pen
sions have never been adjudicated as
promptly as they are to-day, so far as
they depend upon the bureau. The
secretary of the interiors office is be-
hind upon appealed cases, and really
needs an additional assistant secretary
to consider them.-Springfield Repub-

s.. BARRETT EN- ROUTE!
This Circus to Exhibit in Raleigh No.
Vember 18th.

The city has been billed with the hand
some and elaborate printing Of the ). II.
Barrett show. and the date Of its eXhlDl-
ton here is fixed The inevitable small
boy is particularly enthused, and that he
sill iudustriously hustle for the coin
Of the realm during the next couple Of
weeks can be set down as one OF the GER
ta.nties Of mundane affairs.
Barrett's organization now includes 2
three ring circus, supplemented with a
large theater stage, with some two hun
drcd famous performers: q Roman hippo
drome. with magnificent stud Of English
and Kentucky thoroughbreds; q wild
Vest exhibition, introducing an imposing
corps Of scouts, cowboys, bucklng Dron-
chos. and other adiuncts Of frontier life;
and an unusually complete and tautlesS
uenagere. Some of the recently added
<,r..ign features of the ''circus proper are
t5onad Mckenzie's combination of Scotch
athletes and broadsword combatants; Nu
bar Hassans original Arabian circus; and
the Royal Yeddo japanese troupe of jug
glers, rope walkers, wrestlers and acrobats.
Another notable acquisition IS 'Jo-Jo,
the dog faced Russian boy, who has long
been a protege Of the Gar, and the reign
ing sensation Of Europe. Barrett was
aided materially by the State Department,
at Washington, in securing this prodigy
from the Russian Government. "JO-JO'S'
head, face, neck and body are entirely en-
veloped in thick, silky hirsute covering,
and his resemblance to a skye terrier,
could only his face be seen, IS perfect.
He is probably the most remarkable and
interesting human curiO extant. All IN
all, Barrett's outlook for big business here
Is tlattering.
